12 September 2012 Hello Mr.Prakash,

1) Can you please refer the Section which says HUF is a relative? I've heard that HUF is not a relative since it is an artificial person.

2) Income from Fixed Deposit will be clubbed to the Karta from the HUF under which clubbing section in Income Tax Act?

13 September 2012 1. There is no tax on gift made by Yash to his HUF.
Further, Section 56(2)(vii) has been amended to provide that for an HUF relative means ite members. So the said gift is exempt in the hands of the HUF.

2. Section 64(2) provides that where the a member of the HUF transfers his asset to the HUF, income from such asset shall be clubbed in the hands of the karta.

19 September 2012 Under amendment substituted sect. (e) to sect.56(2)(vii), w.e.f. 01-10-2009 (AY 2010-11)and onward), provides that "relative" shall also include any sum of money or property received by a HUF from its any member in addition to the person referred to in the Explanation to sect. 56(2)(vi).
